First Israeli citizen has been killed by a rocket from Gaza since the IDF began its Operation Protective Edge on July 7. A civilian in his 30s was critically injured at the Erez crossing on the Gaza border and died later of wounds.

The first Israeli victim of the week-long conflict was a
volunteer delivering supplies to Israeli soldiers deployed at the
border with the Gaze Strip, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said
as cited by AP.

Update: The Israeli civilian who was injured at the Erez
crossing has died of his wounds.

On Monday, a rocket attack launched by Palestinian militants
wounded two Israeli girls in Lakiya, a town in the south of the
country.

Maram Wakili, 10, was in critical condition in Soroka Medical
Center, Be'er Sheva, according to Haaretz. Her 13-year-old sister
Atir was moderately wounded.

“We heard a very faint siren,” the girls’ cousin, Omar
Wakili, was quoted as saying. “The girls started running but
there was no time to hide, the rocket hit our cowshed and
shrapnel scattered everywhere.”

On Tuesday, Israel resumed its offensive against Gaza. That followed a
six-hour truce proposed by Egypt, which was accepted by Israel
and rejected by Hamas. The Israeli military said that during the
supposed ceasefire 47 rockets were fired by Palestinians all over
Israel with more cross-border fire following after Israel
responded back.

Since 9 am, about 125 rockets were fired from Gaza at Israel.
Around 100 of them hit Israel. The Iron Dome intercepted 20.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will intensify its
offensive after Hamas continued firing rockets instead of
accepting the ceasefire.

“It would have been preferable to have solved this
diplomatically, and this is what we tried to do when we accepted
the Egyptian proposal for a ceasefire, but Hamas leaves us no
choice but to expand and intensify the campaign against it,”
Netanyahu said Tuesday in broadcast remarks.

According to Israeli military, over 1080 rockets have been
launched at Israel since the outbreak of violence between the two
old foes last weeks. 845 of those rockets hit the country’s
territory, while almost 200 were intercepted.

While Israel has suffered its first victim, the number of
fatalities among Palestinians is climbing to 200. Over 77 % of
them are civilians, including 36 children, according to UN report.
